The third day of the All Star Weekend was always the main act. The All Star competition actually only referred to this one day as well.
Twenty four All Stars would, on this day, be split into two teams of twelve to battle. If it wasn't for the fact that the All Star Weekend was more of a show than anything else and the players wouldn't be so serious about victory and defeat, this could be seen as the creme de la creme of matches.
The teams for the twenty-four All Stars was decided through official channels. On principle, they wouldn't divide the members of a team into different groups. Historically, the number of players coming from each team had always been a good number to work with, so there was no circumstance in which they ever had to forcibly separate the members of the teams in order to form two groups with an equal number of people.
Today was no different. The twenty-four participants were harmoniously divided into two groups.
